Rates and Conditions

New Electricity rates came into effect on May 1, 2015 for Regulated Price Plan (RPP) customers. The majority of small business customers are on the RPP. These rates are set by the Ontario Energy Board.

The total monthly bill for a typical small business (general service) customer consuming 2,000 kWh per month and having a monthly demand of less than 50 kW increased by approximately $14.28 per month or 4.9% per month.

Electricity used on weekends and holidays is charged the off-peak price during both the Winter and Summer Periods.
For a list of holidays when off-peak prices are in effect, see our TOU Holiday Schedule.

The price changes only affect households and small businesses who buy their electricity from their local utility. The vast majority of our customers pay Time-of-Use Rates.
